It may have a second lease on life because there is a growing community of people who have used “Parallels” or similar to make VIRTUAL Mac OS’s of old and much loved operating systems.

Unfortunately, it still lacks some of the features and flexibility of most media players or photo editors.Ever so happy to see that this excellent old program has not totally vanished.

ArcSoft MediaImpression's video player is similarly basic.ĪrcSoft MediaImpression is a nice idea and a step in the right direction for an all-in-one media hub. The photo editing options are not sufficient or comparable to competing programs like Adobe Photoshop Elements. While it's potentially a good idea to have a single media application, the execution of ArcSoft MediaImpression is a bit weak. If you want to print your pictures, you can order a variety of different products from ArcSoft MediaImpression, including mugs and books. You can also hit the easy archive button, which will save any selected files or folders to a CD. In the music and video segments you can listen to and watch any of your files, and reorganize them. In the picture segment you can perform basic edits, such as cutting, removing red eye and face-tagging. Clicking any of these opens a traditional pane with a folder tree on the left.

Once ArcSoft MediaImpression is installed, you are faced with buttons for music, pictures, video and all media. Why use programs like iTunes, Google Photo, and Windows Media Player when you only have to use ArcSoft MediaImpression which does all three? It certainly makes sense from the outset. The goal with this application seems to be a replacement for various other programs you might use for one specific media type.
